12" of dense snow fell over night at more than 1.5" SWE, on top of a long standing weak snowpack. Almost a repeat storm of 10 days ago that produced numerous natural avalanches. Widespread collapsing has been occurring since that storm. This path did not run during that storm cycle. Assumed to have failed at December 24, interface.
